I design interiors that respond to the people who inhabit them.
Each project is a search for balance between function 
and emotion, precision and atmosphere.
Drawing from my experience in hospitality, 
retail and residential design, I study how people interact 
with space, translating their movements and habits 
into environments that feel coherent, comfortable and alive.

2022

This lighting study focuses on optimizing visual comfort and atmosphere within a private residence through precise photometric analysis. Using DIALux software, simulations were carried out to evaluate the quantity, quality and distribution of artificial light, allowing for a balance between technical performance and spatial emotion.

The project explored how lighting can adapt to daily rhythms, defining functional zones while enhancing material perception and depth. Each environment was studied in relation to its use, ensuring a consistent and human-centered illumination across the home.
